Scope
BrJAC is dedicated to professionals involved in science, technology and innovation projects in the area of analytical chemistry at universities, research centers and in industry.

The Br. J. Anal. Chem. was launched in April, 2010 to open a discussion about the real role of the analytical chemistry for the development of Brazil and bring the improvement of the life quality. It emerged fulfilling the idealistic purpose of a group of people to achieve actual academic-industrial integration towards innovation and technical-scientific development.
The goal of the journal is to debate, discuss, and show trends and needs with opinion editorials and interviews with renowned investigators, besides publishing scientific papers from the universities, research centers and industry.
BrJAC publishes original, unpublished scientific articles that are peer reviewed in the double-blind way. In addition, it publishes interviews, points of view, letters, reviews, technical notes, and features related to analytical chemistry.
Manuscripts submitted for publication in BrJAC, either from universities, research centers, industry or any other public or private institution, cannot have been previously published or be currently submitted for publication in another journal.
BrJAC's review process begins with an initial screening of the manuscripts by the editor-in-chief, who evaluates the adequacy of the study to the journal scope. Manuscripts accepted in this screening are then forwarded to at least two referees indicated by the editors. As evaluation criteria, the referees will employ originality, scientific quality and contribution to knowledge in the field of analytical chemistry, the theoretical foundation and bibliography, the presentation of relevant and consistent results, compliance to the journal's guidelines, and the clarity of writing and presentation.
When submitting their manuscript for publication, the authors agree that the copyright will become the property of the Brazilian Journal of Analytical Chemistry, if and when accepted for publication.

Brief description of the BrJAC sections

Articles: Full descriptions of an original research finding in analytical chemistry. Manuscripts submitted for publication as articles, either from universities, research centers, industry or any other public or private institution, cannot have been previously published or be currently submitted for publication in another journal. Articles undergo double-blind full peer review.

Reviews: Articles on well-established subjects, including a critical analysis of the bibliographic references and conclusions. Manuscripts submitted for publication as reviews must be original and unpublished, and undergo double-blind full peer review.

Technical Notes: Concise descriptions of a development in analytical method, new technique, procedure or equipment falling within the scope of BrJAC. Technical notes also undergo double-blind full peer review. The manuscript title must start with the words "Technical note".

Interviews: Renowned chemist researchers are invited to talk with BrJAC about their expertise and experience in analytical chemistry.

Points of view: The expression of a personal opinion on some relevant subject in analytical chemistry.

Letters: Discussions, comments, sugges­tions on issues related to analytical chemistry, and consultations to authors. Letters are welcome and will be published at the discretion of the editor-in-chief.

Features: A feature article gives to the reader a more in-depth view of a topic, a person or opinion of acknowledged interest for analytical chemistry.
